Starlings was a wonderful place to stay in Brighton. It has a very convenient location for walking into the centre of town as well as the seafront. Melina and Julie are wonderful owners who were a great help during my stay and do a great job maintaining the rooms. My room was perfect. Highly recommended.

A lovely stay in Brighton

Where in Brighton for a couple of days to attend a wedding , our hosts were aware of this and created a great atmosphere , we felt very welcome in their home. They went above and beyond after a local spilt a drink over the only shorts I had and they washed and dried for me.

Kleines und persönliches Hotel mit liebenswerten und hilfsbereiten Gastgeberinnen, die selbst im Haus wohnen. Bad und Zimmer waren immer sauber, die Matratze bequem, die Temperatur im Dachgeschoss angenehm. Das Frühstück kann dazugebucht werden und war immer sehr lecker (klassisch/veggie/vegane Version wählbar). Die Lage ist perfekt, fußläufig erreichbar sind Meer, Parks, Cafés, Pubs, Zentrum, Pavillon, Museum, Einkaufsmöglichkeiten etc. Direkt vor der Tür fahren Busse. Zum Haus selbst: Da es 200 Jahre alt ist, sind die Decken etwas niedriger.

Erinomaisen viihtyisä huone, loistava sänky, riittävästi kaappitilaa. Kahvia, teetä, juomavesi , suklaapatukka --> käydään päivittäin lisäämässä. Todella mukavat talon emännät. Rantaan kivenheitto.
